Question:
John, Doe, and their friend, Johnny, went out to celebrate a new promotion that John had just received the week before. They wanted to go out, have drinks, and play pool. While playing pool, Johnny decides to take it a little further and drink excessively. After about an hour, he wanted to kick it up another notch. He then disappears and comes back with bloodshot eyes. A little later, throughout the night, he started gambling on money, jewelry, etc. He started losing more money and ended up not having any funds available. Johnny wasn't done despite his two friends' every effort and inability to stand up straight or keep his eyes open. He manages to make a deal with his opponent through his slurred, run-on sentences and being picked up off the floor—one last game. If Johnny wins, he will get his money back. However, if Johnny loses, then the opponent gets his car. The game is over within seconds because Johnny can't see straight enough to hit the ball.
After falling numerous times and digging in his pockets for his keys, John and Doe physically pick him up, take him outside, and throws him into the back of John's truck. At this point, he has already passed out. While their night is ruined due to Johnny's intoxicated decisions, they are being run down by the opponent wanting his "new" car. They left without giving the keys to him. The next afternoon, Johnny wakes up and has no recollection of the previous night.
Besides the money lost, was the deal for the opponent getting his car a legally binding contract?
